Daily writing prompt

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

View all responses

I could let go of everything that doesn’t bring me joy or happiness. And I would too…

But I would also let bills go and the need to do the dishes. Those do not spark joy. Was I the only one obsessed with Marie Kondo and the tidy home show? Y’all need to get over what she said about books. She was right and I will defend her till I die. Too dramatic? Maybe, but it is true.

So anyway, I would let go of so much if it means I can be happier and live my life in harmony. I think everyone should be more like this too. But then we would have less fights and more compromise. However for this people need more therapy and less stress. Sometimes you can’t prevent stress. In this economy??? It is gonna be stressful. That much is clear.

Back to the point, we ourselves need to decide a point at which we are suffering more than what we will gain when we keep holding onto things. I do a pick your battles, cost analysis type approach to things. For projects, is this going to make me money that will be worth the work? Or will I feel more fulfilled having completed the project? When to let something go is entirely a question for you and only you. Unless you want the advice of professionals like a therapist or a financial consultant.

Protect your peace people and let it go if it holds you back.
